"My son said, 'This is the best present you've ever given me.' He really did. He just loved it.
It's sitting on my mantle (where it looks awfully good, by the way) so we can admire it all the time.
He said all the things I wished for like, "Oh look, it even has Sneakers" and
"I'm glad there's a piece of the yellow house" and "Don't send my brother a picture, he has to open it."
Thanks, Jenny.
I can't wait until you put the pictures online or email them to me so I can show everyone.
And, just as a bonus, I was able to say at Christmas parties, "I commissioned two paintings for Christmas for the boys." Like I go around commissioning paintings!

December 8, 2007:
Thank you.
I just had too much going on this week and finally read my emails.
I love this gift. It is probably the best gift I ever gave anyone.
Thank you so much.
Most women my age have a small close group of friends so I think there could be a huge market for this.

"Dear Jenny,
I got the painting today.
It's perfect. It's amazing how much it looks like S. when she is in triathlon "atttack" mode. My son sneaked a peak with me and loved it. Her birthday is end of Oct. so I'll let you know how she liked it. Looking forward to your thoughts on the other design.
I'm sure I'll be contacting you again for Christmas gifts as well--S's sister has twins AND triplets, so I thought one of your "Breeder" paintings would be nice for her.
Thanks again for the quick turn-around.

"Jenny, I was loading my car to go to the lake on Thursday when a very large box arrived.
We all love it!! You captured the spirit of our family and the lake...We took a few pictures of our
first meal using it. It is a perfect fit and it is so nice to remain seated while
passing the salt. I will forward the pictures when I can. Thanks again," [Customer Information Protected]

Wow Wow Wow!!
We LOVE the lazy susan!!! I can't believe how great it is, and I can't thank you
enough. It arrived Saturday just before a party we were throwing, so I used it
for all the condiments (it got a lot of compliments, so I'm forwarding your Web
site to all attendees).

"A small Mexican restaurant in Cleveland was a-buzz
on Saturday night. [It was not simply due to the
tequila]
Denise unwrapped her Steinman original and for the
first time in the history of giving Denise a
birthday present was quite touched..I detected a
tear in her eye.
Everyone had a smile on their face and waitresses
and patrons came over to admire your work. Everyone
asked who was the artist, how long did this take,
and were wishing that they had their own Steinman
original.
Thank you so much for your beautiful work and
bringing a tear and lots of smiles to a small
Mexican restaurant in Cleveland.
All the best,"

From Email from Customer who ordered a MINI Cow,
(a handpainted, replica of the Construction Cow from Chicago's Cows on Parade -- little known fact that I do these...just ask!)
Hi Jenny, just wanted to let you know Farzana LOVED the cow!
Little did we know that she has been infatuated with Cows on Parade ever since they came out. She said whenever visitors came, she would take them to buy the Cows on Parade book. ... she really liked it and appreciated the message on it.
Thank you again for coming through on such short notice--it was the perfect gift!

Hi Jenny,
I received the lazy susan yesterday and it's WONDERFUL! I love it and I know that Michelle and Jorge will too! The tough part will be keeping it from Michelle until Sunday. ( We are going on Saturday for one of the final fittings for her dress.)
Thank you again for your timeliness and your creativity. I truly appreciated you taking the time to speak with me and personalizing the art.
Best wishes in your endeavors.

Hi Jenny! The shirt was waiting for me when I returned from Niagara
Falls, and I LOVE it! Thank you! Can I just wash it the normal way, or do
I need to do anything special?
[answer - YES, you can machine wash and tumble dry.
For the first washing, I'd wash separately in cool water]

Hey Jen,
I am so happy to know what time it is again! My friends are amazed.
You don't know how much meeting you has changed my life.

Hi Jenny, I am very excited that you can help us! My kitchen is a huge
watermelon (the ceiling is the painted like the outside of a watermelon
and the wall's like the inside minus the seeds).
Sounds very unusual I know but
it is great. If you could mix some fruit in with pieces of watermelon
that would be wonderful. Let me know what you think!
